How Copenhagen LooksThrough Japanese Eyes

【Abstract】
This video explores Copenhagen through the eyes of a Japanese traveler.
From museums and canals to local food and everyday Scandinavian design,
the video captures what feels unique, surprising, and inspiring about the city.
【Background】
In Japan, the concept of “Hokuō” (the Nordic region) usually groups Finland, Sweden,
and Norway together. But during this trip to Europe, I discovered how
Denmark, Sweden, and Norway share a deeper historical and cultural connection.
This shift in perspective became one of the key themes of the journey.
【Result】
While visiting Copenhagen, I experienced the city’s balanced lifestyle:
well-designed bike lanes, beautiful waterfronts, calm museums,
minimalist interiors, and a welcoming urban atmosphere.
I also learned how daily life here blends tradition with modern Scandinavian design.
【Discussion】
Seeing Copenhagen firsthand revealed cultural differences
I wouldn’t notice from Japan alone.
From how art is displayed and appreciated,
to how people use bicycles, public spaces, and cafés,
the city offered insights into how Danish life prioritizes comfort,
simplicity, and human-centered design.
【Conclusion】
Copenhagen is not just a picturesque Nordic city,
but a place that quietly changes how you see everyday life.
Experiencing it through a Japanese perspective
made each moment feel both familiar and refreshingly new.
